[Verse 1]
D
I'll just close my eyes, I'll just catch my breath 
            A             D
This is the only place to be 
D 
I've got lots of time, my whole life ahead 
            A             D
This is the only place to be


[Chorus 1]
       Bb           D
It's an, earth-like world 
Bb               D
   It's cold and real 
Bb                 D
   With a sun-like star 
      A  A/C#
I can feel 


[Verse 2]
D
I am for the wolf, pitch-black and yellow eyes 
            A             D
This is the only place to be 
    D
For the raven arriving first to get my eyes 
            A             D
This is the only place to be 

    D
And I'm for the poor sun, always against the mindless night 
            A             D
This is the only place to be 
    D
And I'm for the wind, in the pale blue sky 
            A             D
This is the only place to be 


[Chorus 2]
       Bb           D
On this, earth-like world 
Bb               D
   It's cold and real 
Bb                 D
   With a sun-like star 
        A  A/C#
You can feel 


[Verse 3]
D
I'll just close my eyes, I'll just catch my breath 
            A             D
This is the only place to be
